Germany has officially announced their provisional squad of 28 players for the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The squad includes a strong lineup of talented individuals who will represent their country in the prestigious tournament.

On Wednesday, May 31, Germany’s manager Martina Voss-Tecklenburg held a press conference in Frankfurt to announce the provisional squad of 28 players for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup. The team, led by captain and star striker Alexandra Popp, aims to secure its third world title at the prestigious football tournament taking place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20.

Voss-Tecklenburg has included 20 out of the 23 players who were part of the German team that lost to England in the final of the 2022 European Championships. Unfortunately, two Bayern Munich stars, Giulia Gwinn and Linda Dallmann, were left out of the squad due to their inability to recover from injuries in time for the tournament. Additionally, Almuth Schult, who was part of the squad at the previous EURO, will be absent due to pregnancy.

Voss-Tecklenburg acknowledged the high expectations surrounding the team and mentioned that not selecting Gwinn was an extremely difficult decision. Germany has been drawn into Group H for the World Cup, alongside Morocco, Colombia, and the Republic of Korea.

Their campaign will commence on July 24 in Melbourne, where they will face Morocco. Subsequently, they will play against Colombia on July 30 in Sydney. The final match of the group stage will take place in Brisbane on August 3, with Germany facing the Republic of Korea.
